Michael Jackson - Dirty Diana

Written and recorded by Michael, "Dirty Diana" became a hit song on his 1987 album, Bad. It presented a harder rock sound than the previous "Beat It" had from the Thriller album.

Michael hired Billy Idol's former guitarist Steve Stevens to back him on the track. There was a mystery for many years leading to some speculation as to what Jackson was talking about in the song. Some say he was talking about his former mentor Diana Ross, whom he had had a crush on as a child and others thought he was talking about groupies. Quincy Jones later confirmed that it was about groupies on an interview from the special edition of Bad.

Dirty Diana - Lyrics

You'll never make me staySo take your weight off of meI know your every moveSo won't you just let me beI've been here times beforeBut I was too blind to seeThat you seduce every manThis time you won't seduce me

She's saying that's okHey baby do what you pleaseI have the stuff the you wantI am the thing that you needShe looked me deep in the eyesShe's touchin' me so to startShe says there's no turnin' backShe trapped me in her heart

Dirty Diana, nahDirty Diana, nahDirty Diana, noDirty DianaLet me be!

Oh no...Oh no...Oh no...

She likes the boys in the bandShe knows when they come to townEvery musician's fan after thecurtain comes downShe waits at backstage doorsFor those who have prestigeWho promise fortune and fameA life that's so carefree

She's says that's okHey baby do what you wantI'll be your night lovin' thingI'll be the freak you can tauntAnd I don't care what you sayI want to go too farI'll be your everythingIf you make me a star

She said I have to go home'Cause I'm real tired you seeBut I hate sleepin' aloneWhy don't you come with meI said my baby's at homeShe's probably worried tonightI didn't call on the phone toSay that I'm alright

Diana walked up to me,She said I'm all yours tonightAt that I ran to the phoneSayin' baby I'm alrightI said but unlock the door.Because I forgot the key.She said he's not coming backBecause he's sleeping with me
